Panacea: The Gang Story by Anushka Mehta | Book review

Book review:
"Panacea: The Gang Story"  is a roller coaster ride of emotions which will make you go through a wide variety of emotions whether of a normal person or a gang supplying drugs. None of us ponder how brutally people or young adults get effected by drugs but the one who supplies stays away from it. Is it because of business or because its really dangerous? Think for a while and state why people who are always around drugs  don't touch it or feel like having it , it's because they are well aware of the consequences.

The story revolves around the gang members Srishti, Laksh, Rishi , Om , Liz and few more. Most of them are orphans picked up from ground or streets and provided food and shelter and given a deadly job of trading drugs in return. Though each one of them is like a kid to Rishi but with some deadly rules that are unwritten or unsaid. The story is depicted from Srishti perspective and how they suferred living on streets or in mansion living upto deadlines. Srishti falls in love with Laksh. But love is not easy way but only a stress reliever. 

Their life takes a dramatic turn when Samar, one of their own, is banished from the house by Rishi and subsequently joins their rival gang led by John. This unexpected event sends shockwaves through the group, testing their loyalty and unity. It is quite intriguing to read how their lives get entangled and how much they can sacrifice for their love and till which extent. 

The author's portrayal of their camaraderie paints a vivid picture of a family forged not by blood but by the commonality of their struggles. The writing style is gripping, allowing the readers to easily connect with the characters and their emotions. She masterfully weaves mystery, drama, and intense emotions into the narrative, creating an immersive reading experience.

Overall," Panacea: The Gang Story" successfully explores the theme of belonging, illustrating the profound impact of connections and the lengths one is willing to go for the people they consider their own.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
